About the Artist: Caleb Barnaby

I’m Caleb Barnaby, a full-time metalsmith, traveler, and lifelong maker. Since 2017, I've lived on the road in my tiny home on wheels, and my studio travels with me wherever I go. Most days, you’ll find me at my bench inside my RV, surrounded by tools, sunlight, and whatever landscape I've parked beside.

Creating jewelry has never been just a job for me. It is a way of building meaning into metal, shaping memories into something you can hold, and turning the places I travel through into pieces that stay with you.

I work primarily in sterling silver, blending traditional hand-etching with influences from Victorian architecture, sacred geometry, cathedrals, natural textures, and the wild beauty I come across throughout my travels. Every line is cut by hand, and every design is inspired by something real - a mountain ridge, a stained-glass window, a cathedral arch, or a quiet moment in a new place.

My path started early. I grew up in an artistic home where creativity was part of everyday life. I spent years fascinated with rocks and minerals, eventually discovering that metalwork and wearable art were the perfect place where structure and imagination meet. Over time, jewelry became the way I connect with people, capture stories, and give form to the world around me.

Today, my work is created entirely on the road. My tiny studio has seen beaches, forests, lakes, mountains, campgrounds, and long highway miles. That constant movement shapes my designs and keeps the creative process alive and evolving.

My mission is simple: to craft pieces that feel meaningful. Jewelry that becomes part of your story. Pieces that carry connection, intention, and a sense of wonder.

Thank you for being here and supporting this little nomadic studio. Wherever the road takes me, I’m grateful every day for the chance to share what I create.
